Nina's P.O.V

" If you could just give me one minute," I flash him a sweet smile before shutting the door quickly.

I turn to Harry, his eyes wide, and a crease in his forehead "What do they want here?"

" I don't know, they wanted me to come to California next week" I start, rushing back into my room to change.

" Why didn't you tell me?" He asks, tone hard

" I don't know, we weren't on good terms"

" What is it they want from you, are you in trouble?" He snaps angrily

" God no Harry, they found stuff on my parents, a will" I say quickly, pulling Harry's shirt off me and walking around completely naked looking for a replacement.

I turn to see him gliding his eyes along my body I smirk.

"Harry, whatcha looking at?"

He laughs " My beautiful girlfriend"

" Well stop and get dressed" I throw his pants at him.

-

" Do you want me to stay?" He grabs my wrist and spins me around before I open the front door.

" Of course I want you to stay Harry" I step onto my tiptoes and peck him softly on the lips.

" I love you," He murmurs against my mouth

" I know" I wink at him and open the front door

He stands there, completely straight. He's a tough looking man, broad shoulders narrowing down to his hips. He's bald and wears a pair of black sunglasses. He has a weird looking device attached to his ear and when I opened the door he pressed a small button on the side and muttered something we couldn't here.

Harry puts his hand on the small of my back protectively

" Come in please" I usher detective Millar in from the hall

We move into the living room and sit around the small coffee table, Harry and I on the couch, legs touching. The detective across the table on an armchair.

" Can I get you anything sir?" I ask anxiously

" No thank you, I'd like to get started" He replies, and places his brief case on the table.

" Nina Antoinette Adelina Vinci, born in San Jose California on May 10th 1993 at O'Conner hospital, to Vincent James Vinci and Maria Adelina Abelli, adoptive parent's after death of birth parents, Sarah Rita and Dominic Fredrick Jones. Has no communication with other relatives of birth parents, is this all correct Nina?" He reads of a paper and stops to look up at me.

I blink three times he talked so fast. Seems like he knows more about me that I know about myself.

I nod " Yes, I believe so"

" Do you know why I am here Nina?"

I feel Harry's arm tighten around me

" You said you found some of their belongings, and a will," I croak, I can feel my throat getting dry from my anxiety.

" Yes, precisely. Also that this is an extremely rare occurrence, for evidence of murder to come up almost a decade after the incident"

My eyes widen

" Murder? Mr. Millar my parents died in a swimming accident" I say it like I'm correcting him.

He looks down " No, that is what you were told when it happened. We have reason to believe from the evidence that has appeared that this was murder"
